the trick to harbinger #0 isyou have to keep in mind there are 2 versions of that book. the "1st" print which was actually a sendaway issue that you could get by cutting the corresponding coupons out of harby's #1-6.

well of course the probem was no one wanted to cut up their books so there's signifigantly less of them then i think valiant anticipated.

so then the secondary market kicked in and us rabid "fanboys" and now apparantly "fangirls" went nuts for the send away issue and it quickly became a rather expensive book.

so valiant did something very cool. they decided they would reprint the first 6 harbinger issues, which were in high demand because of the speculating that was going on in addition to the smaller print runs. they also decided they'd include harbinger #0 with the trade. but they didn't want to alienate the people who had actually cut their books up. so they made the cover on this "2nd print" a different color then the "1st print". hence the harbinger #0 pink (the sendaway) and harbinger #0 blue (the one included with the trade paperback).

i know that's wordy and i surely don't want to come off as condescending. but without knowing your level of familiarity with the varients and all i'd rather give you a ton more info then you need as opposed to not nearly enough.

as for selling on ebay...there are peeps on the board who are much better at that then i am...i usually list stuff i'm simply tired of in an attempt to redistribute my collection. i get rid of stuff i no longer want in an attempt to get stuff i do want. when i buy new books i go ahead and prepare myself to lose money on them when they sell. so i never look at it from that perspective.

Not to worry, since I'm the new kid in the neighborhood, I promise to keep my hands to myself... (hands behind my back)

hmmm...no comment...lol

Harby Pink CGC 9.8, $900, LAST SUMMER

greg · Post by **greg** » Sun Feb 27, 2005 8:29 pm

As far as I know, a Harbinger 0 Pink has never sold for $800+...
and it has never been rumored not to exist.

Harbinger #1 CGC 9.8 sold for $969, but that's not a comic rumored not to exist, either.

Maybe LatinaEyes (welcome, by the way

) meant Bloodshot 0 Platinum.

($800 in late-2003, "should" not exist.)

Well gentleman, all of you have been such a wonderful help! I really do appreciate it sooo much... In in honesty here, I'm not a collector like I'm sure most of you are... I inherited a large collection of comic books, which included many valiant comics and had no idea where to even begin.. I did a web search of valiant and found this site, so, here I am... lol

I did purchase a guide book and have looked at ebay to compare prices.. I just don't want to over-price them to where people won't bid on them.. Geesh, I sound like a whinning woman...

gotta love us! lol

Anyway gentleman, I really do appreciate all of your help.. You guys have been great and must admit, have wonderful sense of humors.. gotta luv ya!

LatinaEyes welcome to the boards that is if you come back and read this

You said that you are going to be selling the valiants that came into your posession be sure to post a link or you might want to try and sell them here first. Well again welcome to the boards where it's mostly fun, sometimes educational, and always interesting

Enjoy!

Oh, takes a lot more than that to scare me away... lol I'm just beginning...

Oh, and riftt, has it really been that long since you've seen a female? or is it that you don't think females can run with the "Big Boys!"? lol

I can pretty much handle what you want to throw at me.. so come on guys, give it your best shot..

lol

Rest assured, I'll be back...
